Compelling Story and Imposing Cast,

When "The Case of the Frightened Lady" was first produced at Wynd ham's Theatre, the deyen of dramatie critics referred to this great mystery story as "Edgar Wailnce at his best." Directed by T. Hinyes Hunter, the new Ideal picture, "The Frightened Lady," now at the Queen's was adapted from the play by British Lion-Gains horough, has a cast including such outstanding names ቢዘ Cathleen Nesbitt, Emlyn Williams, Gordon Harker, Finlay Currie Perry Persons and Julian Royce, who all ennet their stage roles, whilst Norman McKinnel, Belle Chrystall, Cyril Raymond and D. A. Clarke-Smith are other popular artists who have been added in what car justly be described as an all-star enst.

The exciting story tells how the young Lord Lebanon, Inst of a tine of famous ancestors, is practically a printer at his country scat, Marks Priory, dominated by a cold, com- manding mother, about to force him into n loveless marriage. Murks Priory is the scene of two unexplain- ed mulera by strangulation and on attempted third, that of Aisha, the fuancee of Lord Lebanon. The niy sterics suggest many solutions to the detectives from Scotland Yard, who are misled by several unexplainable incidents. The fact that there is a room the dowager Lady Lebanon flately refuse to upen, further com- plicates matters. The key to the secret of Marks Priory is ultimately yielded up by the weak-minded Lebanon himself. The breathless climax to this unusual story is a Wallace master-stroke. It leaves the onlooker spellbound, carries him Along by its compelling intensity.

"June Moon."

Gibson's role in this picture is the same part which Jean Dixon played in the original June Moon' on the stage.

"Arsene Lupla,**

A college performance in the com- munity theatre of a "city of million- aires"--and Karon Morley was rendy to be hailed as the newest discovery of the screen. This is the girl who was chosen to play Opposite the world's two greatest actors, John and Lionel Barrymore, when they appear. ed together for the first time in ple tures in "Arsene Lupin." In this Paris mystery drama, which is play- ing from Sunday at the Queen's Theatre, John Barrymore appears an wily crook and his brother, Lionel, as the implacable detective on his trail. Miss Morley enacts the buffer between them. And this important role after only thro the screen!

John Millstancos on and Tully Marshall also have prominout roles in support of the Barrymores in "Arsene Lupla," which is based on the French atago success and was directed by Jack Conway.

CHINA REALTY COMPANY" 8% DEBENTURES 8% INTEREST VS 6% INTEREST MEANS ONE THIRD MORE INCOME

The following extracts are taken from the Chairman's statement at the last annual Shareholders Meeting, February 20th, 1932.

"We feel that the Debenture holder from an investment standpoint, is just as much an interested partner of the Company as the Common Share- holder and is entitled to his just return on his investment, and by the figures given on the two years' working. I think we have amply provén that we were right that our Debenture holders receive eight per cent. interest instead of six per cent,"

"The most successful concerns of the future will be those who recognize this principle-that even banks will allocate to depositors a part of profits earned on their money over and above current rates. of interests, As our balance sheets show quite plainly the proceeds from the sale of our deben-

A lower rate of commission existed in 1931 due to cheap money for the greater part of the year. from September, money commenced to tighten up.
